I know this has probably been a super stressful week for you, but I think that having TWO parties to go to today for Pref is awesome! It's obvious that the girls in the chapter see something in you and are sincere in their invitation to their Pref party.
My suggestion is to take a deep breath, go to both parties with an OPEN mind and see where your heart takes you. In your previous posts, you've said positive things about both these chapters, so remember that one girl who might not have had the best rushing skills should not deter you from being a member of a sorority with 150 other girls...who might just be your kindred spirits waiting to be your lifelong friends...
Give it a chance and don't lose heart. They are a lot of girls who either got released from recruitment or dropped out completely, I'm sure who would love to be in your place right now!
Best of Luck!

Great job southernpromise!!!! Keep an open mind and positive attitude. Also, I'm sure it's already been said, but during each party take a look around the room. Those women will most likely be your pledge sisters.
Listen to your heart, southernpromise! It will lead you home!

Rushing Skills
As she said above, not all have great rushing skills. My D went to a house that the rusher spent her ENTIRE time talking about the TV show "Laguna Beach" which my D had never seen in her life. So, she smiled and nodded the whole time. She basically gave her an update on the entire cast of characters with story/plot lines. D walked away thinking "okie dokie then" but oddly enough they preffed her.
Good luck and have fun.

good luck southernpromise. be sure to look around the room during prefs. and see who your potential new member sisters might be-that might help in your decision making.

If you go to prefs, does that mean that you will get a bid? (You'd think I would understand all this by now from being on this site, but I don't think I'll ever understand NPC recruitment ... too complex ...)

The chances are good that you will. Especially if you list all the groups that you attended as groups that you would join. UGA will also promise* a bid to a girl who lists all the ones she was invited to, so if she went to both and listed both, she got a bid.
ETA: They don't actually promise a bid. But a girl is only eligible to be a quota addition if she lists them all. So it does add to her chances more than just added another group does.

But if you are given a bid, you don't have to accept.
She may be too busy with her new member responsiblities and/or catching up on sleep.
